About Aesop's Fables

The Aesop's Fables published on this site are as they appear in the translation of Aesop's Fables by George Fyler Townsend.

I have added the Aesop's Fables to Eddery.Com in the order they have appeared in Townsend, use the menu on the left to navigate to the fables.

Go to this Aesop's Fables page to see all the fables, in text format, not yet added to the pages. (This is the page I work from as I add the fables - it will be replaced with a page showing ALL the fables, eventually).

If you are interested in knowing more about the life of Aesop and would like to read a biography, go to this Aesop's Biography page to see the Life of Aesop by George Fyler Townsend.

If you would like to read the Preface of George Fyler Townsend to Aesop's Fables, go to this Aesop's Fables Preface to read the Preface.

Sources that George Fyler Townsend used in his Aesop's Fables book are here; go to the Aesop's Fables Sources page.
